I think the game is too hard even on very easy difficulty. I can't kill destroyers with one shot of my ml-16. I want ml-16's to be effective against shields. I want only my fighter to have shields in subspace and no one else. I want the bad guys to sit there and not shoot. I want the bad guys to not move. When the bad guys sortie fighters and bombers, how come they don't just sit there 100 meters out of the fighters bays and not shoot? The lucifer shouldn't have shields, don't the shivans know that's unfair? The game always calls me alpha 1, it doesn't call me superfrier as expected. When the bad guys shoot me, that's not nice.
-
Thank God, i'm not alone in FS universe! :)
-
I think we should give the shivans stuffed bunny rabbits.
-
How come the vasudans and terrans don't tell on the shivans? I bet that the shivans wouldn't disregard all communications then.
-
Is this a joke I missed? :wtf:
-
We should get them a boxing bag, they can turn all there anger on that rather than on other species. Why do they move around? It's hard to hit them, they should stop. And eighty saths? That's overkill, should be more like 8 scorpions without shields and don't move or fire.
-
Is this a joke I missed? :wtf:
No, the joke missed you. By 5 miles.
-
I'm pretty sure I get it; it just isn't funny. :blah:
-
wtf? :lol:
I want the Erynies to have gatling LRBGreens as its standard loadout.
-
I want to fly the Mara more often AND use the Helios while flying a Myrmidon.
-
I want the Erynies to have gatling LRBGreens as its standard loadout.
That's how it's supposed to be. I flew in the erinyes and fired the primaries and it wasn't right :hopping:
-
I don't want shields. I don't even want a fighter. I just want to be dropped into the mission in a space suit with a jetpack. I will then fly to the enemy fighters, punch in the canopy and kill the pilots with a knife, even Shivans. :arrr:
-

Gattling LRBGreens ...mmmmmmmm :eek: :drevil: :drevil: :drevil:
I should definately model a gigantic ships (cannon) like that. Sathanas fleet? What sathanas fleet?
-
That'd be horribly unbalanced.
-
Unbalanced? How many Sathanas fleets do we have? I rest my case.
-
I want to fly a Pegasus with eight Shivan Super Laser turrets.
-
That'd be horribly unbalanced.
I was speaking of the original idea, not TrashMan's idea.
-
FS2 should be like Red Alter 3.
Only without the russians, chinese and the allies.... And without the bears, dolphins and tanks. And the strategic combat. And it should be set into the future, where starships and fighters fight out out with beam cannons.
-
That'd be horribly unbalanced.
I was speaking of the original idea, not TrashMan's idea.
My idea rocks. :P
-
Not that idea. The idea at the beginning of the thread...
Man, not quoting what you're referencing is a stupid thing to do...
-
Oh instagib ML-16s. :lol:
-
Shivans should have a better arsenal of primary and secondary weapons. The ones they have, used for obvious balancing reasons, aren't powerful enough.

Considering the fact that the bad guys aren't even supposed to move or shoot.
-
Support ships are bugged; they refuse to stay docked and act as a turret + bonus pair of thrusters.
And WTF, I can only have one support ship? **** you, I'm keeping them safe.
-
I was just wondering, Mobius...isn't the Reaper cannon from INFR1 used by the Shivans? That seemed pretty powerful.
-

I see you are badass.

Try to use their weapons from the COTS weapons table...MWAHAHAHA :drevil: :drevil:
-
Quick fix: Erinyes with full BFRed loadout. Zoom out and hold down left mouse button. Move mouse randomly. Hear random explosions. See red dots on the radar disappear randomly. Note how Sathanas fleet lasts five minutes.
-
For some reason it seems like when you fire beams you have to stay in one position or else the beams don't do anything.
Like fighters directly in front or at least in a 15 degree cone get shafted, I do a 180 and fighters will just sunbathe in it and not get harmed.
-
This is stupid.
-

Inferno SCP also uses an unique arsenal of Shivan weapons... ;7

Actually, I don't even think I need the spacesuit. Supposedly a human can survive about 90 seconds of exposure to vacuum and that's all I'd need. :arrr:

Has redsniper already reached the rank of fleet admiral by floating over to the colossus and killing the whole entire crew by himself one at a time?

Dude, look at A. E. What does it say under his name?
(Here's a hint: What does the first part of his name come from?)

The Reaper is an Ancient weapon? Wat?
-
That's the only thing it could be. I'm staring at the tech database right now. It hasn't got a designation, but it's lumped in with the other turret lasers, and the Terran, Vasudan, and Shivan ones are all listed as Terran, EA, Shivan, or Vasudan. Deductive reasoning points to the Ancients.

Knife? I don't need an effing knife. Just a tattoo of chuck norris on each of my knuckles. :arrr:
-
In that case, it's not you that's a badass, it's Chuck Norris.
-
Well, I could say something about how a knife is extraneous and I could really kill the enemies just by glaring at them, but I'm not one to exaggerate.
-
:lol:
-
The bad guys should totally only be flying serapises. You won't have to glare at them so long.
-
Don't think you'd even need to glare - a mildly irritated glance could wipe out a whole wing of those things.
-
They're harder to hit than you think...

It can't be, the Vindhyachal's beam is called SBeamTiny in INFR1.

Wouldn't it be cool if they had a spin off of freespace 2 that was a real time strategy game (eg. Red alert, Age of Empires, Impossible Creatures, and I don't have many games so that's all i can think of). How they would do it is beyond me though, rts games wouldn't like 3 dimensions i'd suppose (but they do have layered planes, but not 3 dimensions)

Erhm... homeworld anyone?

Geez, do not give the Shivans any ship at all!
Even better, no one should have ships except Alpha 1.

Pretty amazing how the FSRTS team worked it out, shown in a demo released a little while back. :D

Actually he replied in exactly one month (Of 30 days).
It's still a bump. :P

Psycho, read this thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,57900.msg1168300.html#msg1168300
If someone bumps a sticky thread, it's not a necro. If someone bumps an old thread with a post that is solidly on topic and applicable to the old thread it's not a necro. If someone bumps an old thread and provides an answer to a question that the original poster expected and still expects to be answered, it's not a necro.
Lucika's post is not a necro because:
1. The post was relevant to the topic and applicable, despite sounding weird; and
2. The post answers the question put forward by the title of this thread, in this case the question being, "How i want fs to be" and the answers being "...do not give the Shivans any ship at all!" and "...no one should have ships except Alpha 1."
Hence, Lucika's post was not a necro, but a bump. A bump is not a necro.
-
For the umpteenth time, I wish I could consign that necro beam to the fiery pits of hell where it belongs. We mods are perfectly capable of determining whether or not a new post represents a legitimate bumping of a thread...we don't need people beam-spamming all over the place to tell us how to do our jobs.

Make the necro beam an autoban :)

I want a fighter which is stealthed, twice the speed and maneuverability of a dragon, 16 gun mounts all mounted with BFReds with no energy consumption, missle banks filled with 10,000 tornados with triple damage, infinite maneuverability, and fire in swarms of fifty, also five turrets with ULTRA AAAs, and has the hitpoints and shields of the Colossus. I'll call it the Chuck Norris.

Note that infinite maneuverability means 0 maneuverability since the slightest touch on your controls makes your dream ship start rolling around in an endless loop.

He's talking about the missiles having the ability to never lose lock from turning.
